How do I choose a boutique hotel in Rome?
Consider these factors when selecting a boutique property:
- Neighborhood Character: Monti and Trastevere have the highest concentration of boutique properties with local character.
- Room Size: Boutique hotels often have smaller rooms than chain hotels. Check dimensions if space matters to you.
- Personal Service: True boutiques have staff who know your name and preferences. Read reviews mentioning service quality.
- Design vs Function: Some boutiques prioritize aesthetics over practical amenities. Verify what matters to you is included.
